You'll manage all property management functions for properties that TPC Homes owns and operates, including permanent supportive housing sites, NOAH preservation properties, and master leased units. You’ll work collaboratively with senior leaders at TPC Homes and The People Concern to provide integrated solutions that ensure our residents have the stability they need to rebuild their lives.
